Gaza, MINA – Palestinian group Hamas on Wednesday firmly rejected US President Donald Trump’s plan to “take over” Gaza after resettling Palestinians elsewhere, describing his remarks as “irresponsible.” Anadolu Agency reported.
In a statement, the group said Trump’s remarks were “aggressive against our people and our cause, and will not provide stability in the region.”
Hamas stressed that it would not allow “any country in the world to occupy our land or impose guardianship on our great Palestinian people.”
He urged the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to immediately convene to follow up on Trump’s “dangerous statements” and take a firm and historic position that protects the national rights of the Palestinian people.

Earlier, Izzat Al-Rishq, a member of the Hamas movement’s political bureau, said Trump’s statements reflect “deep confusion and ignorance about the Palestinian cause and the region as a whole.”
“Gaza is not a common territory for any party to determine its fate; it is an integral part of the occupied Palestinian land,” Al-Rishq said.
He stressed that “any resolution must be based on ending the occupation and fulfilling the legitimate national rights of our people, not on the logic of power, domination, or the mindset of real estate traders.”
The Hamas leader added that Trump’s statements “reaffirm the complete bias of the United States in favor of the Israeli occupation and its ongoing aggression against our people and their rights.”
